#249: The First 30 Days After a Breakup

In today’s episode, I’m walking you through how to navigate the first 30 days after a breakup in a way that is supportive, grounded, and deeply healing.

This initial period can feel overwhelming — full of grief, anxiety, confusion, and emotional swings. And while it’s natural to be in survival mode, there are small but powerful ways you can support yourself through this time rather than getting swept up in the chaos.

I share a practical roadmap for what to focus on (and what to avoid), so you can move through this chapter with more intention, self-respect, and care.

We cover:

• Why the early days after a breakup can feel so destabilising
• The two common nervous system responses: anxiety and shutdown
• How to create a supportive, calming environment for yourself
• The importance of maintaining basic self-care and routines
• Why boundaries (especially no contact) are so important
• The impact of screen time, social media, and rumination
• How to approach this period with intention rather than survival mode
• Beginning the process of reconnecting with yourself
